Justice League: Unseen images of the iconic superheroes

Never-before-seen images have been unveiled from a promotional video that showcases amazing new footage of the superheroes in action.

Aquaman debuted its first trailer over the weekend, with Amber Heard seen as Mera after a brief appearance in Justice League.

We’ll also see Nicole Kidman as Queen Atlanna, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Patrick Wilson as Orm.

Heard recently said: “Before I decided to take on this role I read a couple of the comic books and I was struck by how Mera was introduced.

“She comes into this one scene in the first comic I read where Arthur [Momoa] is attempting to save the town from a flood and she helps him. She has an equal part in saving this village.

“And these civilians turn to each other and say, ‘Who is that? Is that Aquawoman?’ And she says something to the effect of, ‘No, I have my own name, my name is Mera.’”

She continued: “That resonated with me as somebody who’s always been allergic to being the damsel, the two-dimensional archetype of what women are often limited to in this industry — especially in the superhero world.

“So when I spoke to [Justice League director Zack Snyder] he got me at ‘warrior queen.’

“He said, ‘You get a sword and a crown’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, you know how to play to your audience.’”
